I don't watch it anymore as well (but more because there's no station around to air it), but I still follow articles about it, just to know what's going on ;) And I can't wrap my mind around the fact that so many so-called "fans" hate her with a vengeance.
*fistbump* I really wished they (the writers and creators of "Arrow") would have taken a leaf or two from Justin's portrayal for the show. Yeah, SV's Oliver also had his dark episodes, but he never, ever got as dark and brooding as on Arrow. And while it adds a layer or two to the character, in the long run it's a tad too much for me. I want to see Oliver Queen and the Green Arrow (another thing that's not quite working for me with Arrow: the long way to find the proper name for the vigilante), not a sad copy of Gotham's Dark Knight. There's an array of movies and a TV show for that.
I had no idea people hated her? HOWWW??? She's wonderful <3
I agree I loved his portrayal of Oliver Queen and The Arrow could have/should have take some inspiration from it. The angst was a bit much for me too in Arrow.
Oh yeah, there's a whole community against her (or at least it feels so). I think it started in Season 3, when she began to date Ray Palmer. They even went so far to call her certain names for doing just that, and when she and Oliver got back together - oh my! There were literal wars raging online, and whenever there's a hint of a character leaving (aka dying), you can bet that she's named number one. But believe I don't get it either. And yeah, she's a fictional character, but still, she's portrayed (and written) in a way I can identify with - as a normal human being. And I don't see nothing wrong with her first dating Ray and later on Oliver - should she sit in a corner and wait until Oliver finally wakes up? No, cause you only live once. *rant over* And apparently she's too much of a drill sergeant from Season 4 on.
I'm just so surprised by that! I had no idea! I just assumed everyone loved her. But I'm not in the fandom at all...
It may be an unpopular opinion but I actually really liked Ray
And I definitely don't see anything wrong with her dating Ray first... I thought when her and Ollie finally got together it was great, but I don't see a need to hate on her for dating Ray first :(
I don't watch Arrow anymore but Felicity was definitely my favorite part of that show!
And YESSS Oliver Queen from "Smallville" <3
